This 20-minute dinner marries spiced chicken with a tasty mango raita, an Indian condiment made from yogurt with vegetables and occasionally fruits, that are often used to add a cooling effect to spicy Indian cuisine. This minty raita offers a sweet and crunchy blend of mango and cucumber; it is equally delicious served with pork tenderloin, salmon, or shrimp. It also makes a great snack, too, when scooped up with jicama, carrot, or celery sticks. Kirby cucumbers are small, crunchy, and mild with firm flesh and bumpy skin. You can omit the cayenne pepper if you prefer a milder dish.
